he Monterey Open has a rich and storied history dating

back to 1926, when it was won by “Light Horse” Harry

Cooper in an event that included most of the top

golfers in the nation—including the reigning U.S. Amateur

George Von Elm, and 1927 Ryder Cup team members “Wild” Bill

Melhorn, Joe Turnesa, Johnny Golden, Al Watrous, Johnny Farrell,

Leo Diegel, and Al Espinosa.

The tournament missed a few years during the Great Depres-

sion, and again during WWII, but otherwise remained a popular

annual event on the Del Monte Golf Course calendar. Following

the WWII death of a popular Monterey golfer, The Bud Brownell

Memorial Trophy was crafted by Jo Mora for engraving the names

of future winners.

After a brief hiatus (the tournament was not played from 1997-

2003), Del Monte Golf Course resumed the event in 2004.

Last year, John Ellis captured his first Monterey Open Champi-

onship with rounds of 68-64-67 (-17). Ellis, whose resume in-

cludes the 2009 GST Tour Championship and the 2008 Order of

Merit award on the Canadian Tour with three wins, had never

finished outside the top ten and had four top three finishes in his

previous five starts. Finishing three strokes back in second place

was defending champion, Andrew Hoffer. His 14-under total was

one shot better than his winning score the previous year, but was

not enough against Ellis’ solid play.
